Chief of Police Hart, who it is understood ordered the change to tion on Saturday change back to APPOINTING MINOR JUDGES Dumbfounded that the Legislature has seen fit to disregard the recom- ] |/ all-automatic opera- nights, should oid system {Commission have gone mendations of the judiclary council that police court judges be appoint- ed by the governor with the consent of the solons, the Hartford Times waxes indignant at this evidence of machine rule on capitol hill. For 25 years or more, it is stated, the atate machine has refused to give up its control over the appointment of po- lice court judges and other minor judiciary throughout the state. The machine is not likely to give up any- thing that is regarded as a political anset. Objection to having the governor make the appointments seems to be that it would give the governor too much power. It occurs sometimes that a governor, after his first term 1 [in office, becomes & Dit independent in his views and has ideas of his own as to who should get the jobs. To permit the governor to possess too much power of appointment, it is held, would set up a rival to the ap- pointive power of the politit'ans and those who have influence with the politicians. Yet the present system provides juicy court fights in numer- ous towns and cities every year. New Britain fortunately has eascaped such fights in recent years, but there have been others while things went along smoothly in the hardware metropolis. Besides, the governor has the power to nominate judges for the high court bench of the state, and this does not seem to in. jure the state political machine to any extent; not just at present, any- way, while the governor is inclined to co-operate with the political moguls. The four judges named by the governor in the middle of April seemed to meet with the approval of the moguls completely, especially considering they all belonged to the &rand old party. The fear that the business would be different in the case of local judges, however, stays tie hand of the Legiclature from indulging in re- form. Appointment of local judges through the co-operation of local | politicians appears to suit the Legis- lature and the local political lead- ers. The governor is not going to receive more appointive power than he alrcady has. Bome day & reform governor—if not a plain Democrat —might be elected. and that would e 100 bad for the local political ma- chinery operating the minor judg- ship appointments and such like. ELECTRICITY AND THOUGHT It may be distressing to the elec- tric trust that there is such a body ot relentiems inquisitors as the Fed-, eral Trade Commission, but there Is universal satisfaclion among the people generally that this body ex- ista to throw light into places that might never be bathed in 'the spot. light without it.

An honest concern would not subsidize college professors, try to instill propaganda into achool children through denatured textbooka or foist an editorial writer in its pay upon the staff of a reputable journal so as to put over its ideas. The Federal Trade Commissie: through its unrelenting prodding, is opening the eyes of the nation to an industrial menace that needs ever more light. Congreas in the past has passed a fair share of no-account laws. It ought to seize the eppor- tunity to pass a few curtailing the activities of the power trust; and laws with teeth. THE ATTACK ON MELLON Senator Walsh of Montana, and those supporting him in his attack upon Secretary of Commerce Mel- lon, doubtless is sincere. But that isn't saying much. 8o is a cimex lectularius, The Montana Democrat, and sun- dry Republican Progressives, put on quite a show in attempting to get the administratien to ditch Mr. Mellon because the treasury head is identi- fled with corporations. There is an old statute, of a piece with blue laws everywhere neglected, which states that the secretary of the treasury must not be interested In carrying on trade or commerce. ‘The law, of course, is folly. What man capable of being secretary of the treasury would not be interésted in trade and commerce? 1f such & one happens to exist he wouldn't be the type of man to have as secretary of the treasury. Mr. Mellon has owned stock in a Pittsburgh distillery, although he sold his interests beéfore becoming identified with the government, ac- cording 10 his announcements; Mr. [ Mellon, among other things, is inter- ested In the aluminum trust. To the best of anyo: knowledge, he hasn’t sold his interest in this and other corporations—if he attempted it, a fearful amount of stock weuld have to be purchased by others, and perhaps the price would go down. Anyway, he would still Rave fts equivalent in money, which he would have to invest in something or other and still run the risk of being “inter- csted” in trade and commerce. A sense of fairness forces us to make these remarks. We have never written an editorlal brief for Mr. Mellon, and in s0me of his activities shared the disapproval of his critles. But if it is the intention of his pres- ent enemies in the Hendte to dust him because of adubious law, the better plan in our Opinion I8 te re- peal the law. aleng with a batch of Other Iawh that eficumber the books. Tt it is the intention of the progreasives 1o prove that Mr. Mel- |lon violated the anti-trust law, that ;ln a different matter. 1t appears, however, that such a charge is mere- late the anti-trust law, regardless of | statute. TOLL BRIDGES Of the nine states in the Union |that have no toll bridges in opera- tion or building. Connecticut and Massachusetts are included. This is a good record for the two New Eng- |1und states which fortunately have {not joinod the parade of 39 states |which are encumbered with such i reminiscences of a day when toll !roads were common throughout the land. ’ Senator Smith W. Brookhart, do- ing a turn in the American Motor- /ist, calls attention to the fact that private interests now conrol 80 per cent of the nation's toll bridges: |that the erection of toll bridges at | strategic points fs an offense against 'the principle of free highways; and that the privately-owned bridges are earning 13.9 per cent upon their cont, the publicly-owned bridges are earning 8 per cent. And at the of granting 'charters, the total of toll bridges in [the United States will double | within a few years. Touring by auto- mobile will yet become more expen- while present rate sive than taking one's whole family to the same destination by train.

There are a million Mexicans within the boundaries of the United States, concentrated chiefly in the southwest. Only 5 per cent of them speak English. They are Mexican ci‘izens, and maintain Mexican cus: toms. Were they not in alien ter- ritory this million might be cared for by the Mexican Red Cross. The task, being one of social wplfgre, is not exactly in the line of the ordi- nary activities of the American Red Croks. These people constitute a special problem, for which Mexico feels responsible and for that reason the Mexican Blue Cross was or- ganized at Ban Antonio, Texas, in October, 1919, TIts service includes the distribution of food and cloth- ing to those in want, furnishing medical attendance for the sick, tranaportation back to Mexico of the needy, and burlal of the indigent or friendless dead.
